The pioneers of this current include the Hamburg noise musician and composer Asmus Tietchens, who collaborates with the Bochum sound artist Thomas Köner in "Kontakt der Jünglinge", using depth psychology and not a little humour to explore his own musical socialisation in radio transmissions of electronic music. In addition to this, the tradition of an art based on simple technology and liberated from institutional constraints has considerably influenced electronic music in Germany. At the same time, Johannes Goebel has been continuing the activities he began at the ZKM since 2004 at the Experimental Media and Performing Arts Center (EMPAC) of Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute (US State of New York), where he has primarily devoted himself to the musical potential and consequences of new media such as the Internet. Georg Hajdu, Professor of Multimedia Composition in Hamburg since 2002, has been similarly innovative, experimenting with microtonal scales and working on a networked, interactive real time compositional environment. Tutschku has programmed numerous applications that respond to the intuitive realisation of a score by musicians and incorporate their physical gestures into the generation of sound. The links forged between physical acoustics and musical aesthetics are reflected in an exemplary fashion in the works and writings of Hans Tutschku, who has held the position of Professor of Composition and Director of the Studio for Electroacoustic Composition at Harvard University since September 2004. Composers such as Goebel, Maiguashca, Brümmer and Finnendahl belong to a new group of still young artists who are equally inspired by an academic ethos and artistic ambitions. Open source applications of the kind used in works by Orm Finnendahl and others have been promoted under the aegis of the annual Linux Audio Conferences held at the ZKM since 2004. The Institute for Music and Acoustics cooperates with other parts of the ZKM on multimedia pieces such as the works of Kiyoshi Furukawa, who integrates images and sounds together: as in his "chamber music with images” Small Fish (1999) for computer and musicians and the interactive environment Bubbles (2000) he created with Wolfgang Münch. ![]() ![]() The ZKM provided Nicolas Collins, Kaffe Matthews, Oval, Scanner, Anne Wellmer and Zeitblom with a complex data network for their interactive projects Fiber Jelly and Remix (2000). The composer Mesias Maiguashca, who was born in Ecuador and lives in Freiburg, was able to musically exploit his studies of the ways metal instruments resonate at the ZKM when he elaborated his evening-long cycle Reading Castañeda in 1993. The subjects include problems of data management like those Franz Martin Olbrisch had to overcome in 1993 in his radio installation FM o99.5, which extended over a number of days. Whereas Freiburg has specialised exclusively in live electronic music for many years, a wide range of research projects are undertaken at Karlsruhe. The work done there has frequently crossed the line between academic research and art – initially under the leadership of Johannes Goebel and since 2004 under that of Ludger Brümmer. One important exception is the Institute for Music and Acoustics at the Center for Art and Media (ZKM) in Karlsruhe, which was founded in 1990 in emulation of IRCAM in Paris as an "institute of unheard tones". Many facilities have closed, including the Siemens laboratory and, most recently, the WDR Studio. Most of the electroacoustic institutions have lost their significance today. Research projects and multimedia works at the ZKM ![]() Helmut Erdmann has been working at EULEC since 1977, achieving advances in areas of music education such as the teaching of electroacoustic techniques and experimenting with historic synthesisers like the EMS Synthi 100 to find new facets of their sounds. The European Live Electronic Centre (EULEC) at Lüneburg also deserves to be mentioned in this context. With their band Cassiber, Goebbels and Harth have used the montage techniques of the audiotape age for agitprop tracks such as Berlin, Q-Damm 12.4.81. Since the 1970s, this tradition has been continued by artists like Heiner Goebbels and Alfred Harth. ![]() In 1970, the founding of the Cologne-based Feedback Studio by pupils of Stockhausen such as Johannes Fritsch, Peter Eötvös and the Calcutta-born composer and programmer Klarenz Barlow triggered a paradigm change that called the legitimacy of the institutions into question and opened the way for independent electronic music, not least thanks to the availability of cheap synthesisers. The most important artistic responses of the years after 1968 included the rebellion against the institutionalised studios and their monopolisation of the means of production. Many byways of electronic music were ignored for a long time by the historiography of the field, which was hegemonially oriented towards the major institutions.

The pen has two input buttons that can act as right and left click would on a mouse or they can be customized to suit whichever program you're working in for personalized shortcuts this is great for quickly switching brushes in Photoshop or effects in Lightroom. While a minor annoyance, it doesn't detract from the ease of use offered by the Tilt Pen for when you want to make comments on a report or PowerPoint, write yourself a to-do list, or knock out some preliminary sketches for clients. If you're left-handed, you may want to use sticky keys to lock the Windows Start button and taskbar so you don't accidentally close out of your document or art program in the middle of a project. Taking notes with the Tilt Pen feels almost identical to writing with traditional pen and paper, and the program that parses handwriting into digitized text is great at picking out words and letters even if you're like me and have horrible penmanship. It has two levels of backlighting to make it easy to type in almost any setting, and you can turn off the backlight completely for bright rooms or when it would be a distraction, like in a meeting.īoth the display and trackpad allow for intuitive gesture controls you can pinch to zoom, swipe, and tap the screen, and the trackpad allows for pinch zoom and quick scrolling. The chiclet-style keyboard has an ultra-low profile that feels great to type on, though if you're used to mechanical or optical switch keyboards, it may feel a bit "mushy" and takes some getting used to. HP Spectre x360 14 review: Keyboard and Tilt Pen The glass feels smooth and sturdy, with very little flex, so you won't have to worry about damaging your screen when you swipe, write, or tap away at your programs and files. If you're a digital artist or work in video production, you may want to spring for the OLED touchscreen for more consistent brightness and enhanced color and detailing.īoth options are made with Gorilla Glass for durability when using touch controls either with your hands or the Tilt Pen. I tested our review unit with YouTube and Hulu in both tablet and laptop mode, and even at extreme side angles, colors remained vivid and true-to-life. The colors look great, too in our testing the HP Spectre x360 14 with a 1920 x 1080 FHD display covered 105.3% of the sRGB color spectrum, beating out the XPS 13 (97.9%) but falling behind the MacBook Air (114%). That's as good as Apple's latest MacBook Air (365 nits) but a bit short of competitors like the Dell XPS 13 (469 nits). The screen gets bright enough for most settings, and in our testing we recorded an average brightness of 365 nits across the whole display. It also has incredibly wide viewing angles. HP claims it can deliver up to 1000 nits of brightness, depending on your customization options, meaning that you'll be able to watch videos or drop into virtual meetings and visual calls in almost any lighting environment. For most applications at work or at home, the full HD screen will be just fine. You can choose between a 1920 x 1280 FHD or a 3000 x 2000 OLED touchscreen for your new Spectre x360 14. It's also perfect for anyone who has frequent video calls and virtual meetings and needs a fast, reliable connection. With Wi-Fi 6 compatibility you can take advantage of next-gen wireless internet speeds in order to transfer files to and from cloud storage services like Dropbox or Google Drive, making external physical storage a moot point. However, the Bluetooth 5.0 connection only allows for setting up 2 simultaneous devices bad news for anyone who has invested in multiple wireless peripherals like headsets and mice, or needs to connect multiple mobile devices to their laptop. ![]() You can pick one up through the official HP store, the Intel website, or you can try your luck at major retailers if you're hoping to get lucky with a good deal or sale price. With a starting price of $1,369 it's comparable to laptops like the Core i7 Dell XPS 13 ($1,259) and the MacBook Pro 13 ($1,299). ![]() HP Spectre x360 14 review: Pricing and availabilityĪs mentioned earlier, this laptop's impressive power and gorgeous design comes at a high price. However, if you're willing to spend a bit more to get a quality laptop that will serve you well for years to come, or just want to be able to buy the best of the best no matter the cost, the HP Spectre x360 14 is an excellent option. The entry-level models start at $1,369 (though HP is discounting that to $1,249 at time of publication), meaning many customers will be left searching for more affordable options. Buyers be warned though, this 2-in-1 laptop comes at a steep price. ![]() ![]() You want to search out the granular, abrasive surface. That is exactly where you don’t want to be in the rain. Through the years of cars driving over a particular part of the track, the surface becomes polished smooth and the pores in the pavement are packed with rubber and oil. The idea is to look for, and use, the grippiest pavement. The general rule in rain driving is to drive where everyone else hasn’t. The front end of the car will now follow the front tires, and the back end is going to skid sideways causing a spin-out. If the front wheels are turned at an angle when you reach the other side of the puddle, they will now regain traction, while the rears are still on top of the puddle with no traction. ![]() Here is why-consider aquaplaning equal to skimming across the top of a puddle. Keep the steering wheel pointed straight. Under no circumstances should you go to brakes. Do not “jump” off the throttle, as the sudden suspension unload and compression braking of the engine will cause the forward transfer of weight and cause rear wheels to slip. Aquaplaning is like driving on ice, the less you do, the better your chances of surviving. The trick to controlling aquaplaning is to do as little as possible, be gentle. This will lessen the chance of severe wheel spin by reducing the amount of torque to the drive wheels.Īquaplaning is one of the trickiest parts of racing in the rain when the tire cannot cut through the buildup of water on the track surface, and it begins to skim across the top of the water. Try going one gear higher in the turns than you normally would, using third gear where you would normally use second. The “squeeze on and ease off” application to the brake and gas pedal is critical.īe smooth with your gear changes. I picture blown eggshells on the pedals – don’t break the shells. I try to drive my tub/racecar without spilling any water out the front, back, or sides. I see myself in the tub with water level now elevated right to the top. Remember your primary job description as a racecar driver, “you are a weight manager.” When I am in need of extremely smooth driving skills, I visualize my racecar as a bathtub full of water with four wheels on it. Racing in the rain mandates “smooth.” This is not a time to be throwing the car’s weight around, inducing uncontrolled skid and slide. I find this helps build skills and confidence, so you are mentally and physically prepared for your inevitable rain race. I try to get out on a rain-soaked racetrack every chance I get. Driving a racing car in the rain is a science mastered by knowledge and above all experience. (Eventually, after he was hospitalized with an infected foot, his Metropolitan ordered him to wear shoes thereafter, he wore sandals). Even in the United States, even while serving the Divine Liturgy (which he did every day), he went barefoot in all seasons. ![]() His Bishop's "miter" was often a cloth cap to which he had glued paper icons. His appearance was striking: His cassock was made of blue Chinese "peasant cloth," crudely decorated with crosses stitched by orphans who had been in his care in Shanghai. When the Archbishop had prayed outside each room, he returned to the beginning of his circuit and began praying again and so he spent the entire night.Įven as Archbishop, he lived in near-absolute poverty. Years later, when he visited Holy Trinity Monastery in Jordanville, New York, the priest responsible for hosting him found the saint walking through the halls of the monastery, standing outside the door of each room and praying for the monk or seminarian sleeping within. Once, in Shanghai, a caretaker, investigating strange noises in the cathedral after midnight, discovered Bishop John standing in the belltower, looking down on the city and praying for the people. During his life and ever since, numerous miraculous healings of all manner of afflictions have been accomplished through his prayers. Throughout his life as monk and hierarch he was revered (and sometimes condemned) for his ascetical labors and unceasing intercessions. He served as Bishop in Paris and Brussels, then, in 1962 was made Archbishop of San Francisco. When the Communists took power in China, he labored tirelessly to evacuate his flock to safety, first to the Philippines, then to various western countries including the United States. In 1934 he was made Bishop of Shanghai (in the Russian Church Abroad), where he served not only the Russian emigre community but a number of native Chinese Orthodox from time to time he served the Divine Liturgy in Chinese. Whether his seminarians followed his counsels we do not know, but he himself not only followed but exceeded them. Teaching seminarians in Serbia, he instructed them each day to devote six hours to divine services, six hours to prayer (not including the divine services!), six hours to good works, and six hours to rest (these six hours obviously included eating and bathing as well as sleeping). From the time of his entry into monastic life he adopted a severely ascetical way of life: for the rest of his life he never slept in a bed, sleeping only briefly in a chair or prostrated before the icons. In 1921 his family fled the Russian Revolution to Serbia, where he became a monk and was ordained a priest. † St John (Maximovich), Archbishop of Shanghai and San Francisco (1966) (June 19 OC) This brightly-shining Saint of our own day was born in Russia in 1896. Again, the multitude of miracles wrought through the robe revealed its presence, and it became known to the Emperor Leo and to the Orthodox people in general. The two pilgrims stole the garment and brought it to Blachernae near Constantinople, where they built a church dedicated to Sts Peter and Paul, and secretly deposited the robe there. The old woman was a descendant of one of two virgins who had attended the Theotokos before her dormition in her last days on earth she had given each of them one of her garments as a blessing. Seeing the miracles wrought in a small shrine in her house, they learned from her that she had the robe of the most holy Mother of God stored in a small chest in her house. July 2 † The Placing of the Honorable Robe of the Most Holy Theotokos at Blachernae During the reign of Leo the Great (457-474), two noblemen on pilgrimage to the Holy Land stayed at the home of an old widow. But a doctor and a former teacher who envied their reputation lured them into the countryside on the pretext of collecting herbs, then killed them. ![]() At this he proclaimed the truth of Christianity and released them. The brothers refused to do so, but to show the truth of the Christian faith, they healed the Emperor of a grave infirmity. According to the Prologue, they were summoned before the Emperor Galerius, who interrogated them and commanded them to worship the gods. As Christian physicians, they freely performed their healing services for men and for beasts, asking the healed only to believe in Christ in thanks for their healing. Though they inherited great wealth, they gave most of it to the poor and needy, only setting aside enough for themselves to devote their lives to the service of Christ. The two commemorated today were brothers from Rome.

" The Bob and Tom Show" from WFBQ Indianapolis began airing on WIOT and continues to this day. Management signed a deal with a syndicated morning show. The new owners tweaked the format a bit, adding more hard rock. In 1998, the station was bought by Jacor Media. With their departure, WIOT's new owner Enterprise Media rehired the first WIOT's Dawnbusters team, Jeff and Mark. After about two years at WIOT, Karlson and McKenzie left for Boston at WZLX. In 1994, The station introduces the second version of the WIOT Dawnbusters: Karlson and McKenzie. Other WIOT DJs during this time in the '90's were Program Director Lyn Casey, Michael "Party!"

They speak to the ultimate question that confronts us all: Has my life’s work been important? As we consider the various purposes to which managers’ talents could be applied, and how their contributions may come to be judged, we may gain useful insights by examining the life of one man who grappled with these issues for more than 50 years. The fundamental purpose of management is being debated at leading business schools, where students consider the merits of taking professional oaths that would commit them to pursue goals beyond financial performance.įor those who have chosen management as their livelihood, these are not academic questions. Today the focus has shifted to how management should contribute to society, provide for environmental sustainability, and improve the lives of people at the bottom of the pyramid. In the past decade, as evidence that markets are far from efficient has mounted and much of the wealth created has been wiped out, basic questions about management have resurfaced. Yet as a managerial mission, the pursuit of financial wealth has proved to be unsatisfactory. Shareholder value creation had the advantage of being precisely and objectively measurable-and made CEOs like Roberto Goizueta, Sandy Weill, and Jack Welch legends. Planning and directing were essential, yes, but toward what ends? Organizing and controlling, of course, but in whose interest?īy the 1980s and 1990s, one answer had come to dominate popular thinking: The purpose of management was to enrich a company’s owners. That view shaped the developing profession, but many questions were left unanswered. Leading business thinkers conceived of managers as rational actors who could solve complex problems through the power of clear analysis. ![]() In the 1950s and 1960s, to be an able manager was to do four things well: plan, organize, direct, and control.

As the discipline of management continued to evolve, so did he. Vietnam was a crisis that revealed the limitations of managerial thinking at the time, but McNamara never stopped learning. In his work we see the evolution of the discipline, from the development of frameworks to make sense of markets and organizations, to the embrace of quantitative analysis in decision making, to the growing understanding of human psychology. In this illuminating essay, Rosenzweig, a professor of strategy and international business at IMD, presents McNamara not only as an idealist and an accomplished manager but as the personification of management itself in his time.
